Chico serves as a primary charging hub for EV drivers traveling through the northern Sacramento Valley or heading toward the Sierra Nevada foothills. The city currently offers six charging locations, though the experience varies significantly between dedicated Superchargers and smaller destination chargers. Most options are situated near the main commercial corridors, making it easy to find a plug while running errands or grabbing a quick meal.
The charging landscape here is functional and centered around convenience rather than luxury. While some spots offer full sun and basic amenities, you will find reliable access to fast food and grocery stores within walking distance of the main hubs. It is a straightforward city for a top-off, providing necessary infrastructure for those visiting Chico State or passing through on Highway 99.
